Bill the Cat for President

[donutsweeper]

Okay, I'm probably showing my age here, but I've gotten a little annoyed with the calls by people questioning who I will be voting for on "Super Tuesday" (when so many states have primaries or caucuses).  I just don't think it's anyone's business but mine.  So, when I got the third call this morning I replied, "Bill the Cat." 

"Bill the Cat?"

"Yeah, I know he hasn't officially ran since 1988, but I think he'd be perfect for the job."

"A cat?"

"Yes, a cat.  And with luck he'll be able to get Opus on his ballot as VP again.  A cat and a penguin are just what this country needs."

Oddly enough, the annoying pollster hung up on me then... hmmm, I wonder why?

Am I the only one who remembers this?

Less headache would be great. I would like for our electoral process these days to actually *be* more democratic (as opposed to mind-scramblingly representative) but in order to do that they would definitely have to simplify. I just can't think simplification of some things would be bad! It took me 45 minutes of internet research to find out which ballots I'll be able to choose from on Tuesday.

Same thing here. It's just so frustrating
